“More Than A Feeling”

Overview —“ Side I of Rubber Soul, The Beatles’ sixth studio album, definitely showcases quite a bit of development as songwriters, from both Lennon and McCartney, and well even Harrison I suppose. McCartney’s contributions to this side of the record seemed as if they’d be lighthearted at first, just …

I thought The Bird and the Bee managed to make a great sequel to their first album! Inara’s voice is absolutely beautiful and subtle. There is a great variation of sounds, and yet you can always tell that each is a Bird and Bee creation. Many of the songs …

This is the first time that I have ever really heard something fast by John Legend. I absolutely love this song, and did the first time that I heard it. Usually I don’t like songs with this particular tempo. The tempo has been used a …

This album is a very interesting form of musical art. This is one of the deepest and pompous albums that have ever been recorded. There is a song called The Same Deep Water as You on this album, and I think that the concept of depth is really crucial …

Coldplay have been one of the biggest bands in this generation, and arguably the biggest this decade (and the last one too)!
Ever since I heard Viva La Vida, I immediately recognized why this band became popular. And I became a huge fan since then.

The latest Krayzie Bone album called Good VS Evil is a musical masterpiece. This CD shows Krayzie Bone’s dark and good side. I think this is the best Krayzie Bone album that takes you deep into his mind. The productions and beats are very powerful and just great. Krayzie Bone …

It is strange for me to realize that this album was released more than ten years ago now. It makes me realize how my teenage years are rather far behind way in the past now. I just remember buying and listening to this album as if it was really …

“The Day I Tried To Live” is just one of many singles off of Soundgarden’s absolutely amazing 1994 release “Superunknown”. Soundgarden was probably the most interesting group out of the Big 4 back in the day. Where Alice in Chains was known as being the heavier more “metal”, Pearl …

The Final Command is a song by Slayer which appears on their debut record, Show No Mercy. The song opens up with a very quick guitar riff which isn’t exactly heavy, but it’s quite fast. To be fair, on Slayer’s debut record they were more of just a fast …

This guitar is the second guitar that I purchased. The first guitar that I bought was a Mexican Stratocaster. This Ibanez brand guitar has some cool features, but it just wasn’t for me. I really prefer my Strat over the Ibanez. I honestly don’t really know why I bought …

Brockhampton isn’t what you would normally expect from a boy band. Before listening, I didn’t know what to expect from the guys, since this was my first time listening to them. I was recently trying to expand the kind of music that I listen to, so I decided that …

I have always been the kind of person who admires music. Not only is it an art, it finds a way into your soul. Music is able to be related to and in the moment when you find a certain song, you feel like you are no longer alone …
